Chapter 163 The Team That Fleed from the Great Qian Dynasty
"Fine, since we didn't kill Chen Nan today, we'll just find another opportunity."
"Didn't Chen Nan suggest attacking the barbarians? Next time you hold court, agree to his suggestion, but propose that you go on the expedition with the army."
In his words, Qin Lang defined the nature of the matter.
"Ah? My lord, I am just an ordinary person. Am I really suitable to go to the battlefield?"
Changsun Du gave a wry smile; he had no desire to go to such a remote, mountainous place.
"Hmph, what do you know? Do you think a mere prince like him can destroy the barbarian tribe?"
Qin Lang smiled broadly: "Although the barbarian tribe only has a little over a million people, they are all soldiers on horseback and civilians on foot!"
"A hundred or so people are enough to form an army of 300,000."
"Most importantly, the Barbarian Tribe possesses the Barbarian Crystal. Chen Nan's idea is truly wishful thinking."
Changsun Du lowered his head, his eyes filled with question marks: "May I ask, sir, what exactly is that Barbarian Crystal?"
Qin Lang glanced at him and said, "You don't need to know. You just need to know that if you serve our empire well, you will eventually have a place in Northern Wei."
Despite the harshness of his words, Changsun Du remained sincere: "Rest assured, my lord, I will agree to Chen Nan's suggestion next time and join forces to attack the barbarians!"
The scene shifts to the Imperial Medical Academy, where Chen Nan has finished his acupuncture treatment.
Zhao Yun frowned and stepped forward: "My lord, there is something I am not sure if I should say!"
"Zilong, speak your mind. We're all on the same side here, so there's no need for formalities!"
"My lord, under General Hongze's protection, Su City is safe, but I have discovered a troop of men on the border."
"A group of people?" Chen Nan asked, puzzled. "Zilong, tell me more!"
"That group claimed to have fled from the Great Qian Dynasty."
"However, I noticed that the group consisted entirely of martial artists, and there was even a woman dressed in tattered clothes. Suspicious, I brought the group back with me."
"At first, the squad was unwilling to return to Northern Wei with me, but after we fought, we realized that the squad leader was actually quite strong!"
"Not badly strong? Is Zilong injured?" Chen Nan quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yun to examine him.
Zhao Yun was deeply moved: "My lord, rest assured, I am fine."
"That squad is currently imprisoned in the Northern Wei prison by my subordinates. The leader's meridians have been sealed by me, so he can't cause any trouble!"
"Wait, you just said that small group of people fled from the Great Qian Dynasty?"
Chen Nan felt a jolt in his heart, and a figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
"That's what they said. Since I don't know much about this place, I didn't go any deeper. I just brought the people back."
"It's alright, let's go take a look together!" Led by Chen Nan, the group was about to set off.
Hongming spoke up: "Chen Nan, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to directly attack the barbarian tribes?"
"As you saw, those civil officials in the court just now would never agree to this matter."
"If they were to spread this news, I'm afraid the people would become resistant."
Chen Nan was taken aback, thought about it carefully, and realized that it really made sense.
Since ancient times, people have always valued legitimacy in doing anything.
"I remember Fang He is still imprisoned in death row, isn't he?"
Hongming paused, not understanding why Chen Nan suddenly brought up Fang He, but still answered, "Ever since the end of the great war, Fang He has been imprisoned in a death row cell."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about him."
"Alright, if that's the case, then it's him!" Chen Nan smiled.
"The messenger told Fang He that he was to be sent as an envoy to the barbarians, and that he was not to be allowed to live or die!"
"what?"
Everyone was immediately shocked.
"Aren't you sending Fang He to his death? Do you think he'll agree to that?" Hongming asked, puzzled.
A military general, though not particularly capable, is now forced to serve as a servant on diplomatic missions to other countries.
Chen Nan sneered: "He has no choice but to agree. Spread the word that the court has already verified that the Fang family has countless connections with Qin Qingmin."
"Then let Fang and that person inadvertently inform the other party of this news."
"He knows exactly what he should do."
On one side is the entire family, and on the other is only one's own life, which is destined to end. Anyone would know what to choose.
"What if Fang He still refuses?" Hongming asked worriedly.
She knew the other party to some extent, and if the other party really didn't want to go, no one could force them.
Chen Nan shook his head helplessly. Hongming was a good general, but he was really not suitable for the imperial court.
He patiently explained, "If Fang He is unwilling, we can wipe out the entire Fang family and just find someone to serve as a servant."
Although Chen Nan had never done such a thing, he was very familiar with it. He had seen revenge spanning thousands of years, let alone just finding an excuse.
With arrangements made, everyone headed together to the Weidu Prefecture government office.
Upon arriving at the government office, they went straight to the prison without lingering.
As soon as Chen Nan entered the prison, he saw that every cell was filled with prisoners.
He couldn't help but ask, "Zilong, how many people are in that small group you mentioned? Why are all the cells full?"
Zhao Yun replied in a deep voice, "My lord, that small group of men numbered about thirty."
"Several people died in the process of fighting with me. There should be about twenty people now."
"Because there was a woman inside, I had her locked up separately."
"Let's go see who that woman is!" Chen Nan said with a smile as he walked into the prison.
When the group reached the deepest part of the prison, they discovered that a woman wearing only underwear was being held there.
The woman's hair was disheveled, and she was filthy all over, with even her inner lining covered in dust and mud.
Zilong stepped forward and suddenly shouted, "Raise your head!"
Hearing the sound, the woman looked up and met Chen Nan's gaze.
At that moment, Chen Nan's mouth dropped open in surprise, and soon his face was full of mockery: "Who do I think I am? Isn't this the famous Wu Fengluan, the supreme emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"What brings you to sit in this Northern Wei prison cell today?"
Wu Fengluan glared angrily: "Hmph, Chen Nan, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. Not only did you not lead troops to rescue me when I was in trouble, but now you even dare to mock me. You really don't know what's good for you."
"How dare you disrespect our king! What is your punishment?"
"You're asking for death! How dare you insult my lord to my face!"
"Go to hell! How dare you insult my master!"
Behind Chen Nan, the military general's furious voice rang out at the same time.
"Oh, Mr. Chen? I wouldn't have seen you if you hadn't spoken."
"What? Does it feel good to be Chen Nan's dog?"
"Has my Great Qian Dynasty treated you badly or what? Why would you travel all the way from Great Qian to Northern Wei to seek refuge with Chen Nan?"
